comments do not primarily depend on teh existence of comments.php in your theme – a default comments.php will get used.
try to enable comments through the dashboard settings:
dashboard – settings – discussion
and
dashboard – pages – all pages – click quickedit below a page title – tick ‘enable comments’
same for posts
or
dashboard – pages – edit page – click ‘screen options’ near the top right – tick ‘discussion’ – this will enable a field below the page editor where you can ‘enable comments’
same for posts
make sure that single.php and page.php have some code with comments_template(); after the content; http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_template
what theme are you working with?

it’s a custom theme built for this group of ladies.
all of the dashboard settings are there, the screen options are there….but when i post a comment the entire page disappears and it redirects to wp-comments-post.php
there is no comments_template() in single.php and there is no page.php, but there is a home.php with no comments_template in it either…of course there’s also no after the content in home.php either.
anyone have any thoughts? this is driving me cuh-razy….
there is no comments_template() in single.php … but when i post a comment
weird – where do you post the comment, if the there is no ‘comments_template()’ code in your theme?
have you added any other comment form code to your theme?
can you post a link to the page where you can post comments?

heres the page
http://smartasswaitress.com/category/news
and i added this code `<?php global $withcomments;
$withcomments=1;
comments_template();?>` to that page to make the comment box show up…
i’m off to work, will check back this afternoon!
